Wild Space was the name given to the unmapped expanse beyond the Outer Rim.[1] It was located "off the edge of the map," where no one knew what was on the other side. In contrast, the so-called Unknown Regions were mapped but largely unexplored.[2]

Wild Space was also known to be the location of an enigmatic planet called Mortis, which was home to a family of Force wielders known as the Father, the Daughter, and the Son. These three figures embodied the balance in the Force, the light side, and the dark side of the Force respectively. The Force wielders tried to convince Skywalker to fulfill his prophesied role as the Chosen One.[12] However, their plans were upended when the Son was corrupted by the dark side; setting in motion a chain of events which led to the deaths of the three Force wielders. Their realm existed outside of the realm of normal time and space.[13]

Despite the increased interest in Wild Space, those who resided from it were not as well respected by some during this period. Eli Vanto and his mother and father came from Wild Space, and Vanto in particular was not well respected for some time, despite his service to the Empire.[7]

In 3 BBY, the Lasat rebel Garazeb Orrelios, the Spectres rebel cell, and the Lasat refugeesChava the Wise and Gron took part in a search for the legendary Lasat sanctuary of Lira San. Lira San lay in Wild Space, and could only be reached by navigating through a collapsed star cluster. After being pursued by Imperial forces and a difficult trial, Orrelios managed to used hisbo-rifle to guide the rebel starshipGhost through the maelstrom. Chava and Gron settled on Lira San, which they discovered to be the original Lasat homeworld.[8]
